Sir William White, for Six Years Ambassador at Constantinople: His Life and Correspondence (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Sir William White, for Six Years Ambassador at Constantinople: His Life and Correspondence
Sir William White was born on February 13, 1824, at Pulawy, in Poland. He lived in that country, at one time and another, for more than thirty years, and spoke the Polish language perfectly; from which, and from the fact that his mother and his maternal grand mother held land in Poland, it was inferred that he must, at least on the mother's side, be of Polish origin. He had, however, not one drop of Polish blood in his veins.
Sir William White's father was in the Consular and afterwards in the Colonial Service, and he was at the time of his death Governor of Trinidad.
When I knew him, between 1845 and 1851 writes Mr. Cadman Jones, one of Sir William Whites oldest and most intimate friends, he was stationed at Trinidad. What I chiefly remember about him is, that his son was his exact image.
His family, settled for several generations in the Isle of Man, was of Dutch extraction, and its original name was de Witt.
Sir William's mother was the daughter of General William Neville Gardiner, last English Envoy to the Court of Poland in the days of King Stanislas Augustus, under whom was accomplished, in the words of the usually calm Guizot,1 the murder of an entire nation.
